Trauma as a Lawyer With Kara Hardin

On the latest episode of the Former Lawyer Podcast, I asked Kara Hardin to come back on the podcast to talk about trauma and lawyers. You may remember her previous episode where she talked about leaving the law for a career in mental health.  We've had several therapists on the podcast recently, like Ilona Salmons, who came on the podcast to discuss burnout in lawyers. In all of these conversations, trauma from being a lawyer was a common theme.  Today, we’re going to focus on trauma and lawyers. We’re also going to talk a bit about the big influx of former lawyers seeking a new career in mental health.  See show notes at formerlawyer.com/131I'm closing enrollment for my self-paced group program, the Former Lawyer Collaborative, permanently on August 31st, 2026.
